She had no idea what passion was,
Until she saw them...

As long as he never visits her bed to claim his marital rights.
But seeing him with a man changes it all.
Passion is stirred. Desire is ignited.
And yet, she still never wants to touch or be touched.
Quinn's heart is shattered when his lover leaves so he explores his feelings for Celeste to ease his broken heart.
In one unchecked moment of passion, mutual need spins out of control and marriage is the only way to save her.

This book is the story of Celeste and has her happily for now.
It is also the beginning of Calder and Quinn’s story which will be continued in THE SPARE AND THE HEIR.
This book is an autochorissexual romance (on the asexual spectrum) but contains important pieces of a gay romance. Both are explicit.
Warning: this book has a cliffhanger ending for Calder and Quinn, but is very much part of their story.
Warning: You’re going to fall in love, and it’s going to hurt.

A woman out of her time, another ahead of hers, and the men they yearn for…
